EDITORS COMMENTS
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," a literary classic by Lewis Carroll, first published in 1865, comes to life in this image of the infamous croquet match scene. The photograph, taken from an original illustration, depicts the Queen of Hearts in a fit of rage, her face contorted in anger as she shouts the iconic phrase, "Off with his head!" The Queen, dressed in her regal red and white attire, brandishes a mallet, ready to take action against the unidentified offender. Surrounding her are a variety of peculiar characters from Wonderland, including the King and the White Rabbit, all engaged in a heated croquet match. A hedgehog lies on the grass, seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding around it. Roses and other flowers bloom in abundance, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. Carroll's imaginative storytelling and intricate illustrations have captivated readers for generations, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the fantastical world of Alice and her adventures. The quarrelsome Queen, with her penchant for beheading, is just one of the many memorable characters that make "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" a timeless classic. This photograph is a must-have for any collector of historical literature or for those who appreciate the quirky and imaginative world of Alice. The photograph, first published in 1865, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's work and serves as a reminder of the importance of imagination and curiosity in our lives. Whether you're a fan of the original story or simply appreciate the beauty of the illustrations, this photograph is sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you to the magical world of Wonderland.
